I have a question regarding classic SS coloring books:

There was a coloring-type book that had different finger puppets of the SS Muppets (this was from 1971).

I was just wondering if anyone knows about this, and what characters were in it.

Thnaks for all your help, and have a good night!

It sounds like you're talking about the old Sesame Street booklets with cardboard punch out finger puppet characters from the show. If that's what you're referring too, it actually wasn't a coloring book at all. If I remember right, the punch-outs were actual photographs of the muppets that could be made into puppets for your fingers. I remember that at least two booklets were made. The first one was based on the very early versions of the muppets, but they next one had more updated styles and additional muppets that were added in the early 70's.

Thanks for the info!

I was just wondering if you remember what specific Muppets were in those booklets, and if you still have them or not.

Thanks again, and have a good night!
